Location

Semi-abandoned footpath through Eastern Stratfield Brake (part of Oxford's green belt). South of Gosford, Oxfordshire.

Plans

I've long been meaning to return to this footpath, which I believe is chronically-underused perhaps mostly because it's become extremely overgrown at its Western edge. In 2018 I hid the final stage of a multicache geocache along here (minor spoiler, sorry) and in 2019 I came through the hashpoint on a maintenance visit. That maintenance video is conveniently evidenced by a video I made at the time (I came by bike, and it's clearly impossible to come via the other route), so I'm optimistic that if (a) the hashpoint turns out to be where I think it is and (b) I can reach it on 2020-02-27 then I can legitimately claim a déjà vu geohash achievement.
